families,
friends and fans who can't make the trip to Fargo, this will be the next
best thing to being there."

"This will go a long way to promoting the ISC II program," said Flanagan,
who called several games from the Portland Rose Cup, Red Rock and AAU

tremendous."

Joining Flanagan and Setford will be Joe Todd, of Woodstock, ON, who was
part of the crew that broadcast the 2003 ISC II championship game, and
Brian Hazelton, of Monroe, IA, who has called some college basketball games.
Several ISC II players and managers will also be featured during the
broadcasts.
